Our Reading Comprehension & Storytelling holiday workshop is a 2-day long programme (3 hours per day split between the 2 domains, with a 20mins break in between). With a small group size of 4-5 children, your children will learn from 2 highly-experienced SLTs specialising in Language and Literacy.
Story Telling
Story telling requires a combination of multiple skills used integratively. Our workshop breaks down this complex process and equips students with the tools and skills to construct their own narratives. Our students will learn how to:
- Identify the different elements in a story.
- Generate and synthesise story elements.
- Sequence story elements in a smooth and logical manner.
- Construct simple and complex sentence structures
- Learn and use varied and meaningful vocabulary.
- Perform and express a learnt story.
- Innovate, edit, and perform a learnt story.
Reading Comprehension
In school, our students are required to synthesise verbal and written information in order to answer high level questions. Our workshop develops these skills from the bottom up, ensuring that your child achieves each preceding skill in order to maximise success! Our students will learn how to:
- Differentiate basic questions types. Answer direct questions
- Use prior knowledge to make smart guesses
- Answer prediction and inference questions
- Identify similarities and differences
- Answer compare and contrast questions
- Identify inciting incidents and reasons.
- Understand cause and effect Identify inciting incidents and reasons
- Answer “why” questions
Benefits
Our children will be equipped with storytelling and thinking skills which will help them to navigate and excel in academic and social tasks. They will get a head start in training these skills for school success.
The parents of our children will learn skills alongside their children through our handouts and home practice sheets. This helps them to continue to support their children’s learning and progress way after the workshops are over. Parents will also be equipped to apply the same skills to their other children to help them succeed in school.
Our partner schools will benefit from a value-added service to benefit their students and parents. The essential skills taught over our programme will help graduating students to absorb and learn your curriculum better.
